The combination of Modus and MyDrive brings together two market leaders offering complete end-to-end solutions with a focus on driving business advantages for insurers while improving the safe driving habits of the millions of drivers they cover.

There is no company better than Modus at designing and deploying the technology to collect accurate data from millions of drivers.
